The role of the emotions in magical beliefs and practices
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The project is related to magical practices and perception of their efficacy. Psychologists Paul Rozin and Carol Nemerroff demonstrated that magical beliefs/practices are based on the idea of contamination. As defined by psychologists and biologists, contamination involves transmission of a contaminated substance from a source (a person or an object), that is also "a vehicle" of this substance, to a recipient (another person or object). In some cases, contamination includes a medium that transfers a contaminated substance from the source to the recipient. This substance (essence) then becomes part of the recipient's body (Rozin, Nemeroff 1990, p. 207). Contamination activates strong emotions of disgust and fear; any contact with contaminated things, however minor, is repulsive (Bloom, 2004, p. 159). According to evolutionary psychologists, these emotions are an outcome of an evolutionary pressure that might keep us from contact with toxic substances and objects that might cause disease
